Audioengine B2 Bluetooth Speaker – Premium Wireless Home Speaker for Music Streaming from Phone, Tablet and Computer - White

I was searching for speakers for my desk. I considered many other products like Bose sound bar, Sonos, Edifier, Kento, Kliptch etc. Finally after going through many videos and documents I purchased it. I am happy with my final decision these are awesome speakers in small form factor with wireless connectivity. I happily recommend these speakers if anyone looking for small and wireless.

Belles et excellentes petites enceintes pour PC... avec un très bon son !

Unos altavoces que sorprenden por su tama;o compacto y en persona se nota la calidad. Muy bien hecho, un tamaño perfecto para el escritorio. Tengo un altavoz a cada lado y ocupan poco. Compre unos pies de esos para ponerlo en angulo y amortiguar un poco las vibraciones y genial. Me he quedado flipando con la calidad del sonido y poder destinguir las difirentes tonalidades y instrumentos en las canciones. Lo que como en otros comentarios carece mucho de los bajos, y ha he pedido el subwoofer de la marca para compensar y tener un equipo de sonido completo. Pero como digo estos altavoces estan muy completos y de una alta calidad.

Got these for both myself and my wife. She loves the clarity and full range although I tweaked the EQ for her to bring the bass up a bit to suit the music she listens to. I got the sub with mine and am running everything flat. The sound stage is fabulous using the speakers inbuilt d/a converter and has revealed nuance that I hadn’t heard in a number of tracks (I’m a musician and have a wide ranging taste in musical styles). Best sound I’ve heard from a PC and will use it to mix some of my recordings.

After buying (and being disappointed by) a portable BT speaker for my wife's use, I decided that we really could use something that could fill up more of the house when we were using it. We have an Airport express hooked up to our stereo, but it's unreliable and requires iTunes or an Apple device. I've had Audioengine A2+ speakers for my main computer already, so these were an easy choice. For the price I really don't think you'll find something with more sound. Yes, you're limited by how much bass these can produce (and it may surprise you just how much these can) and stereo separation is limited, but that should be pretty obvious when choosing this kind of device. Though limited, the bass is plenty sufficient for the types of music we listen to most frequently (classical, world music, show tunes, rock). It fills up the first floor of our house without going anywhere near the upper levels of volume. I think the audio quality is exceptional (again, given the parameters of the device) and has increased the amount of music that's playing in our house all the time, which is one of my goals in having the device. I've even used it when I've needed to give a vocal performance and wasn't sure if there was going to be an audio device on site that could play an accompaniment track with sufficient quality and volume and it worked wonderfully! Coming from the background of having and loving the A2+s I knew that I'd be satisfied by the sound of the B2. The other key consideration since it primarily sits in our dining room (when I'm not lugging it around with me!) is that it works as part of the furniture. The subdued styling, especially with the mesh grill on it really make it blend in with the environment. The only time it's noticeable as a device is when the antenna is sticking straight up, and even then it blends in. So much less an eyesore than most BT speakers or other devices. Upon very close inspection you can tell the finish is a laminate, but it still looks nice even when you're close enough to notice it. It's got a good weight and the mesh snaps on securely. The light on the rear isn't noticeable unless you've got your head behind the device to see it. The BT pairs easily and rapidly with a variety of devices. I have noticed that if you just turn off your BT without unpairing it takes a while before it can be paired again, but that's only been an issue when we're taking turns playing songs from it. It's far more reliable and versatile than the Airport equipment we have. The range is sufficient such that you can go anywhere on the floor or even up the stairs as long as you don't go to the extreme opposite end of the house. It gets used nearly daily in our house, and that's more than I can say for just about any other piece of electronics.

Let me begin with the aesthetic appeal. Despite their compact size, the speakers are beautifully finished and come in a variety of colors that please the preferences of even the most discerning customers. Every detail, from the smallest components to the overall design, has been meticulously considered to create a solid and stunning professional look. Of course, there are many other speakers available with appealing styles and colors, but many of them are either significantly more expensive or lack the exceptional sound quality of the A2+ speakers. And speaking of which, the quality of sound is where these little wonders truly shine. I tested the speakers with a diverse range of music genres, including classic, jazz, salsa, rock, and pop, and I was pleasantly surprised by their performance. I wasn’t expecting such a high level of detail, especially in the mid and high frequency sounds, which are remarkably good. While the bass may not be particularly powerful for their size, it’s not bad in any way. Regarding connectivity, the speakers offer various options to connect to your music sources without compromising their clean and elegant appearance. All the available ports are conveniently located on the back of the speakers. An USB-C port is provided; I reached out to user support to get more information about the requirements for this specific port. According to user support, the minimum practical port speed is any USB port that supports USB 2.0 Full Speed. This includes USB A 2.0 ports, USB A 3.x ports operating in backward compatible mode, USB C ports that support USB 2.0 signaling, and Thunderbolt docks that expose USB 2.0 lanes internally. Even the slowest USB ports on modern docks exceed this requirement. Here, I discovered an issue with my specific setup. The only available “free” USB ports left on my "busy" Ivanky FusionDock Max 2 dock are USB A (2.0 and higher); however, attempting to connect the speakers to any of these ports using either a USB C to USB A cable or an adaptor from USB C to USB A results in no connection. Only when using a USB C port was I able to connect the A2+ to my Mac Mini M4 Pro. The Bluetooth connection works perfectly fine. When I first turn on the speakers, they enter in “pair mode,” which simplifies the process. I didn’t notice any difference in the sound quality when using USB C or Bluetooth. I haven’t tested the RCA connection, but I would have preferred an optical port to be included instead. I find that port more useful for this type of speaker (more computer-oriented).
